Commodore Perry is a showy and commanding pink cup from the armada of the late Dr. John R. Reed of Michigan. Even though the Commodore is an intermediate, his extra large caliber gun and broad sails will quickly scuttle the opposition. Said to be sun-pro

Well-named Frostbite is a spontaneous poeticus sport, extra white pointy petals intruding into the cup. Widely variable except that Frostbite retains an overall hexagonal corona shape, analogous to snowflakes. Scented Frostbite brings a lovely blast of cool to the late spring border when all of the other daffodils have melted. An intermediate, Frosty is attractive in a vase , for us blooms with Spanish Bluebells and Tulip Maureen. You will be pleasantly surprised by the the scent.

It is not often that a yellow trumpet is found adjacent to the term Intermediate . But Little Alfred sports all of the trumpet flanged and notched cupped bling that you want, but with a "seen not heard" modesty that you like. Lovely color, form and detail. Increases. We think Little Alfred is a candidate for pot culture. ADS Intermediate.

My Sweetheart's is exemplary of trends in late 20th and early 21st century daffodil breeding: Intense color over size; broad and overlapping petals; overall rounded shape and flat profile. Of all of Dr Reed's colorful seedlings I think this is my favorite: strong and easy to grow.

A small cup of sophisticated coloration and prim form. An older small cup, we see Sidley most often on the competition bench.

An intermediate large cup from Ron Scamp. All yellow, because of it cyclamineus heritage Skilliwidden should be utile in the rockery and bed where some shade tolerance is indicated.

For the last half a century Tamar Fire has been a consistent work horse in the daffodil garden. An intermediate double, Tamar is exemplary in rich colors and works multiple jobs : in the border , in competition, and as a dependable pollen parent. While a bit variable, as doubles can be, it is easy to get fine, competition quality blooms.

Some flowers are always shucking and jiving and waving in the wind, trying to get the attention of any passing pollinators : both the winged and the tweed-wearing types. Winks a bright intermediate from Badbury Rings doesn't have to do much more than, well.. give a wink. ADS Intermediate.
